Extols

/ɪkˈstoʊlz/ verb

Definition

Third-person singular present tense of 'extol'—praises enthusiastically or excessively.

Etymology

Same root as 'extolls' from Latin 'extollere.' Both spellings (extol/extoll) are used, though 'extol' is more common in modern English.

Kelly Says

English is messy about double-L spelling—'extols' with one L and 'extolls' with two L are both correct, which confuses lots of people trying to spell it right.
